Heart to heart

I spoke to my dad today. We haven't spoken in detail in a while and it was just nice sitting with him shooting the breeze. He was so surprised by my call. The past few days it was on my heart to call him. So I got on the phone not to long after getting home. He was getting ready for bed. It was really great just hearing his voice. I really realize that sometimes we take things for granted and don't appreciate things for who or what they are until its too late. I talked to him about my day and he talked about our last christmas trip. My mom always said he was kind and I caught a glimpse of the sentimental side when he said he didn't want to wash his jacket because it was the one he bought to keep warm at the park and I had been holding his arm that same day. It made me smile. How could I had been so selfish not to take time to speak to my father all this time. Hmmm thinking about reminds me I need to talk to my heavenly father too. As busy and trying as the day can sometimes be its important to take a little time for a heart to heart.
